SAN ANTONIO — A freshman at Canyon Lake High School was arrested Tuesday and accused of bringing an unloaded .45-caliber pistol to school, according to the Comal Independent School District.

The 15-year-old, who was not identified because he is a minor, was not carrying ammunition and had hidden the gun on school grounds outside the building, said Steve Stanford, a spokesman for Comal ISD.

“His intent was to sell it,” Stanford said. “He had no intent to harm anyone. He had no intent to threaten anyone.”

Another student found out about the gun and alerted administrators, Stanford said. The Comal County Sheriff's Office arrested the student around noon without incident.

Stanford said he did not know what charges the student will face. But anyone who brings a deadly weapon on campus is expelled, per policy, and expulsion proceedings are in the works, he explained.

Stanford said he did not believe the incident had any connection to the threats of violence in the past week at San Antonio schools.
